Secret Language

We checked out library books and videos to increase our sign language vocabulary for Gabe. He is talking, but signs are still easier and help with comprehension. Lisa is very interested and has been teaching herself the alphabet and other new signs.

She came to me and told me something in sign the other day and I said, "That's great Lisa, keep up the good work." What I was implying was, "It's a beneficial and loving thing for you to use your time to learn to communicate with those who are impaired with verbal communication."

Lisa didn't take it that way. She just grinned slyly and said, "Yah, I like to talk to people and they don't know what I'm saying!"

About Me

Three Syllables--is written for my family who are away at college or living in other states. It's my feeble attempt to keep you in the loop.
Our Life on the Back Burner--This blog is for all of my "lovely ladies", the women who have put their own interests aside for the sake of serving their Lord, their families, their friends, and their neighbors.
I started with three precious daughters given to me by birth. Five more have been chosen by my sons and became (or will soon become) my daughters in marriage, but are now intertwined with the others in my heart.
God has also brought a number of young women into my life who I have had the privilege of knowing, serving, or mentoring. It is for each of you cherished women that I share these thoughts and life-lessons in the hopes that your walk with God would be straighter and more purposeful, your relationships with your families be filled with more joy and success than mine. And may you be empowered to go on to lift up your own lovely ladies to heights greater than you reached until we all rejoice together at the greatest height of all with our Savior and King.
